Air Quality ‘Very Unhealthy’ in Bozeman

Bozeman’s air quality is “very unhealthy” today, according to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality.

“Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease such as asthma, should avoid all outdoor exertion; everyone else, especially children, should limit outdoor exertion,” the Montana DEQ explains on the website.

The smoke in the valley is mostly from Idaho and Washington, as well as increased activity on Montana fires, the Gallatin County Sheriff’s Department posted on its Facebook page.
